Question

Who among the following is not associated in the process for exhumation of a dead body?

• A. District Magistrate
• B. Sub Divisional Magistrate
• C. Advocate General
• D. Judicial Magistrate

Hint:

Remember the separation of roles in the legal system. Magistrates (executive and judicial) have procedural and investigative authority. Law officers like the Advocate General are primarily involved in legal advice and representation at the governmental and high court level.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Exhumation involves uncovering a buried item, particularly a corpse, and is a legal process.
Step 1: Identify key roles.
(1, 2, 4) District Magistrate, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Judicial Magistrate: These officials, either executive or judicial, can legally mandate and supervise an exhumation during a criminal investigation, ensuring legal compliance and procedural integrity.
(3) Advocate General: The Advocate General, the state government's top legal advisor, provides legal counsel and court representation. They are not directly involved in on-site criminal investigation procedures like exhumation.

Step 2: Conclusion. Based on these roles, the Advocate General is not involved in the on-site exhumation process.
